Petals Lyrics

There's mud in your eye
Your teeth are stained
Your mind is dark
Your life is pain
You drink blackwater
Smoke a troubled pipe
Dally the day
Rock all night

You're gentle, savage
Brutally damaged
There's an ape on your back
Your voice is ravaged

Your words are petals
Fallen from the sun
Your songs are angels
Touching everyone
There's blood on your clothes
Holes in your shirt
Your heart fell out
You poke at the hurt

Tobacco and ink
And a smoking guitar
You cheated death
In your wrecked up car
Your bones are cracked
Your back is broken
It's better to write
What can't be spoken

Your words are petals
Fallen from the sun
Your songs are angels
Touching everyone

They called you a c**t
Under the radar
Fed your ego
Called you a player
